I've spent 25+ years in church ministry and Christian education, serving students and parents across the country. I'm now available to partner with churches through parent workshops, student speaking, and weekend teaching.
Parent Workshops
Parenting the AI Generation: Raising kids in a world designed to raise them for you.
Every app your kid uses has teams of engineers studying exactly what shapes their thoughts, their insecurities, and their values. These platforms aren't neutral. They're designed to influence who your kids become. And they're working.
The answer isn't removing technology. That's a battle you can't win for long. The answer is understanding its influence and showing up more intentionally in your kids' lives.
This workshop helps parents understand what tech companies are doing behind the screens and gives them practical ways to stay connected and influential in their children's lives. We'll talk about how algorithms shape behavior, how to have ongoing conversations that build trust, and how to raise kids who can navigate technology without letting it define them.
You can't eliminate the algorithm's influence. But you can make sure yours matters more.
Additional Parent Workshops
Confident Parenting - A practical seminar for parents who feel humbled by the task of raising responsible adults. Learn to develop a healthy plan for your family with confidence.
Beyond The Talk - Navigate conversations about sexuality with your kids. Fast-paced, Biblical, and practical.
All workshops are 60-90 minutes and adaptable for church services, parent nights, or community events.
Student Speaking
I've served as a youth pastor for nearly thirty years, helping students discover what it means to know Jesus personally. My focus is spiritual formation and discipleship - moving beyond surface-level faith into practices and perspectives that actually transform how you live.
Some of the topics I speak on include spiritual practices, solitude and silence, becoming the kind of person who naturally lives like Jesus, and why transformation is about who you're becoming, not just what you believe.
I combine honesty and humor to challenge students to live out their faith in real, practical ways. I've spoken at churches, schools, camps, retreats, and mission trips across the country.
Weekend Teaching
Available for weekend preaching and teaching at churches of all sizes. I bring biblical depth with practical application, and I know how to connect with a congregation in ways that are honest, engaging, and memorable.
I specialize in helping people move beyond surface-level faith into real transformation, equipping parents to stay connected to their kids in a chaotic world, and teaching what it actually means to follow Jesus in everyday life. Whether you need someone for a one-off Sunday or interim teaching during a transition, I'm equipped to serve your congregation well.
